What will be the fourth plague?
Answer
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with
fire." Verse 8. See Joel 1: 16-20.
NOTE - Sun-worship is the most ancient and widespread of all forms of idolatry. In this plague
God manifests His displeasure at this form of idolatry. That which men have worshipped as, a god,
becomes a plague and tormentor. Thus it was in the plagues of Egypt. Those things which the Egyptians
had worshipped became scourges to them instead of benefactors and blessings. See "The Philosophy of the
Plan of Salvation," by "An American Citizen," chapter 3.
